The Masked man

The Masked man

By Jansen ChangPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I will take off my mask

I don't know

If you are going to recognize me or not

I have been hiding behind laughter

For so long

I have played the role of a perfect girl

with a perfect life so well

I can't even tell my real life now

If not for the dark circles I conceal

in the thickness of my make up

As soon as I wake up

I would think am okay

I have been a great actor

my whole life

If it was a matter of ocars

for best acting scenes

I would be marvels biggest hero

Now I am tired

I can't do this anymore

I want to be a hard on nomore

Tired of frownig inside

Smiling on the outside

I am not so strong

you got that wrong

I am not what you see

Just a girl hoping to find myself

some happiness

Be a little baby with nothing to worry about

Someone who doesnt have to act

Just letting me be me

inspirational
